About twelve years ago was master and piIot Of
the steamboat Sarah Brown, tha. ran between Peek-

1t was In this way had my first attack Of mals-
ria Before that had never been really sick in INV
lie, and could stand any amount of work, and
sleep like healthy child. But as the malaria took
hold Of me my appetite began to fail and my good
sleep went with 1t. Sometimes could eat heartily
enough, and then again nothing seemed to tempt
me or to taste good. And a. to sleeping, would

and symptoms Of dyspepsia. In fact after while 1t
came to be what Is caled-and very properly think

At the very start, as soon as l told my physician
how felt, he began giving me quinine, and often
took sixteen grains day. II didn't cure me, and

could tell me Of anything better kept taking it.
Then commenced having severe headaches. or
browaches, and felt Jagged out and low spirited.
With the Idea that quinine might possibly help me
only took larger doses, increased the dose from
feur TO ten grains at a time.
This kind Of thing went on for six years and six

All this time kept on taking quiRine in large
doses and as had become very weak my physician
told me that the malarai poison was making my
blood thin and poor-abstracting the very life from
it. After few months began to feel the effects of
the large quantity Of qunne had used to break up
the malaria. First was troubled with ringing and

the deep clear color which was natural TO them.
Bleeding from the nose was about this time com

plugged up the ma al orifces to stop II.
